PR paddy of Uttar Pradesh is being sold in many markets of the state by entering fake details on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal. Yamuna river flowing in Yamunanagar, Karnal and Panipat and paddy crops seen in poplar lands are sold at MSP. Farmers claim that commission agents, some farmers and revenue department officials are involved in this cheating game. Remove ads, just read the news. Local farmers’ paddy is not sold on time. Due to moisture it is purchased less than MSP. Blocks have been set up on the borders of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana by the Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs. Even after this, paddy easily reaches the markets. The reality emerged when the Bharatiya Kisan Union officials stopped the vehicles at Kalanaur block on Sunday and checked the loss caused to the farmers of both the states. Some traders buy paddy from Uttar Pradesh at Rs 1600 to 1800 per quintal and sell it in the markets of Haryana, taking advantage of fake registration. Farmers of both the states suffer losses due to this. Farmers of Haryana have to struggle hard to sell their paddy, while the crop of farmers of Uttar Pradesh is bought at only 60 percent of the prices. The government has fixed the minimum support price for grade-A paddy at Rs 2389 per quintal and for ordinary grade paddy at Rs 2369 per quintal. Complaint sent to CM. State Secretary General of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh Rambir Singh Chauhan said that many cases of fake registration of paddy have come to light on the Meri Fasal Mera Byora portal. It happened to him himself. During registration on the portal, his fort number was found already registered. A similar case also came to light in Pratapnagar. This game works on collusion. This is a big confusion. In this, the functioning of the Revenue Department’s employees is also in doubt. Such cases must be thoroughly investigated. Such cases are constantly emerging in areas dominated by rice. This complaint was also sent to the Chief Minister of the state. Employees are not visible at the checkpoints. Paddy arrives in the markets of Haryana from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Himachal Pradesh. The department has also set up checkpoints on the borders to keep an eye on the vehicles, but the department’s employees are not visible here. According to Mandeep Rodchhapar, director of BKU and Sanju Goondiyana, district president, more than 100 vehicles were stopped. They claim that DFAC refused to take any action. According to him, no action can be taken against such vehicles. Supervision of the check points: When Kapil wanted to speak to DFAC Jatin Mittal in this regard, he could not be contacted. Despite repeated calls, he did not receive the call. Inspector Kapil Kamboj said that vehicles filled with paddy and rice were sent back from Uttar Pradesh. Blocks have been set up to prevent paddy from coming from Uttar Pradesh. There is regular monitoring here. This is how fraud of registration on the portal happens. There is no proper system for purchasing PR paddy in Uttar Pradesh. There are also not enough markets. Some big traders buy paddy from the farmers there. It is sold in the markets of border districts. The fields are covered with poplar trees, the land is covered with forests and the Yamuna river flows. Their Khasra numbers are also recorded on the portal. Patwari has to do Girdawari at the place but most of the Patwari do not go to the place. As a result, fake registrations are taking place on the portal. Many times Khasra number, Aadhaar and bank details of the farmer are filled and sometimes such farmers are also contacted. In this there is collusion with those close to the middle man. As a result, the government suffers huge revenue loss. On the other hand, rice millers complain that they have no place to store rice, but rice from Uttar Pradesh is purchased and milling is done.
